I haven't used the knife itself (it was a gift for someone else), but our experience with our customer service rep, Ali, was fantastic. She answered all of our questions, helped us figure out engraving/customization, and was very helpful every step of the way.

Very sharp blade, great for cutting through hard veggies like butternut squash, potatoes. Love the handle size, as I have bigger hands. Balanced, great knife. I have bought the 6 inch utility knife. Next I’m buying the Nakiri knife.
